Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this jacket warm enough for winter?
The Highton is designed primarily as a waterproof shell. It is excellent for wet and windy days, but you should layer a fleece or sweater underneath for colder weather.
Can I put this jacket in the tumble dryer?
It is recommended to air dry to preserve the integrity of the waterproof membrane and the DWR finish.
What does Isotex 20000 mean?
This indicates the fabric is highly waterproof (withstanding 20,000mm of water pressure) while offering exceptional breathability.
Are the pockets truly waterproof?
The pockets are zipped, but they are not fully waterproof compartments. Avoid storing delicate electronics in them during heavy downpours.
How do I choose the right size for my child?
The sizes follow standard UK children's sizing. If the child is between sizes or prefers more room for layering, it is usually best to size up.
Troubleshooting
Water starts soaking into the fabric instead of beading off
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the garment and apply a DWR re-proofer spray or wash-in treatment.
Moisture buildup inside the jacket
Ensure the child is not overdressed underneath; even breathable jackets can struggle if the base layers are too heavy or non-wicking.
Zipper is sticking or stiff
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove dirt or debris, then apply a small amount of silicone lubricant if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket remains effective, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wash in a washing machine on a cool cycle, ideally using a technical fabric cleaner rather than standard detergents to protect the membrane.
- Drying: Air dry naturally. Do not use high heat as this can damage the waterproof coating.
- Re-proofing: Over time, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may wear off. Apply a wash-in or spray-on reproofer when water stops beading on the surface.
- Storage: Hang in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing while damp to prevent mildew.
